Day 50: Multiplying Fractions / Ordering Rational Numbers / Dividing Decimals

Today in Math 6: 1 & 3°, students worked more with multiplying fractions and mixed numbers.

During Math 6 - 2°, students completed a Quick Check where they had to plot eight rational numbers on a number line.  This task was then graded and discussed.  Mr. Giomini then had students working independently to complete a task with ordering rational numbers. 

Students in Math 6+ worked with dividing decimals.  Students also applied this skill to word problems.

Today's Learning Target(s): The student will be able to...

1. fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation. (1, 3, and 7°)
2. use a rational number as a point on a number line. (2°)
3. understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values. (2°)
4. recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line.  (2°) 
5. fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers using the standard algorithm for each operation. (all classes)

For Evening Practice, the student is expected to complete:

1. Math 6 - Enjoy the Halloween weekend
2. Math 6 - 2°: Enjoy the Halloween weekend
3. Math 6+: Enjoy the Halloween weekend
4. All Classes: m > 10 minutes meaningful practice at Khan Academy
